BRISBANE — Firefighters extinguished a fire that blazed through multiple vehicles in a storage lot early Saturday morning, according to officials.

A news release from the North County Fire Authority, which serves Brisbane, Daly City and Pacifica, said that five fire engines responded at 5:21 a.m. Saturday to reports of a multiple vehicle fire at Alana Way at Beatty Road.

Eight vehicles in a vehicle storage lot were on fire when crews arrived, according to authorities, and firefighters had to shuttle water to the “remote” lot to put out the fire. The fire involved about 12 vehicles, and several others suffered heat damage.

No injuries were reported. Firefighters remained on scene for about three hours to monitor the blaze and mop up.

The North County Fire Prevention Services Bureau is investigating the cause of the fire.

"There is a general recognition that we don't need these military-style weapons in New Zealand, so it's very easy to win cross-party support for this," said Mark Mitchell, who was defense minister in the previous, center-right government and who supports the ban initiated by the center-left-led Labour Party.
